Top Five LOL Cats of the Day

Sign O' The Times

Due to the plethora of earthquakes the world over, I've heard a lot of talk this week about doomsday/end-of-the-world stuff. Now, I don't know about any of that, but I do know one thing. The biggest sign of The End rapidly approaching?Kill. Me. Now.

Outrage + Bright Star = Entertainment

Last night I watched two movies from my Netflix queue. Try not to be jealous of my action-packed life. Making cards and watching movies on a Tuesday night? Ridiculously fun. The first film was called Outrage and it was a documentary about closeted gay politicians. It was so interesting to hear the interviews of those who'd been in the closet and come out - and then compare it to those who are still closeted (and voting aggressively anti-gay as some sort of statement?). It was something I didn't know too much about, so I found the whole film really interesting. Next on my list was Bright Star about John Keats and his romance with Fanny Brawne. I'm a sucker for love stories and period pieces (especially early century), so I found the film quite satisfying. Of course, I also had my DVD remote at the ready to fast forward the lulls. I kept trying to rememberi what Inge and Tracie told me about this film - that it was slow? Sad? I'm not sure.. I took care of the slow part with my remote, but the sad part....well, yeah. It was sad. Beautiful story, though. I was quite engrossed with the characters and storyline.

Congratulations!!!!

Mad props going out to my Aunt Judi today for giving her last lecture at BYU and retiring. I'm heading down to The Promised Land (aka Happy Valley) for the big event this afternoon. Should be nice - at least it stopped snowing (knock on wood). Congratulations, Aunt Judi!

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. A man with mad reflexes and is good with his hands? Yes, please. Is there anything Bradley Cooper can't do?
OMG OMG OMG - Brian McKinney (AKA Gale Harold) was serving dinner in LA for Easter at a mission? I've never wanted to be homeless so bad in my life. Hey Gale - I love you.Does Gwen Stefani really have a tail with that outfit, or did she sit on a towel and get it stuck?Somewhere out there, a wooly mammoth is naked.
I had no idea that Channing Tatum's next move would be Porn Star. What else would explain the porn-stache?

Top Five FAILS of the Day

An Open Letter to Ellen DeGeneres

Dear E (may I call you E? I can? Awesome), Kudos and congrats on your recent career success which is bringing you one step closer to world domination. You've got a top rated show, a beautiful and loving wife, and are a welcome addition to American Idol. In fact, I can only think of one thing you're missing - Pinky Lovejoy! Luckily, I can remedy that. You see, E, we're kindred souls, you and me. We both did stand-up comedy, we both like pink, we're both a little quirky, we're both blonde, and we're both hysterical (and modest, apparently). How great would it be to have Pinky Lovejoy on the job at all the big (or even small) celeb events? I could be your Ross the Intern - only funnier and pinker. Together we would make Pinky's Piece (the name is up for discussion - nothing is set in stone) the talk of the town. Think about it. Seriously. This is a great opportunity for us both. E, I love ya. Your book "My Point and Did I Have One" is one of my favorite reads. You're adorable. Look me up. I just know we're destined to be BFFs. Adoringly yours, Pinky Lovejoy

Pinky Debunks People's Top News Stories

Today we add a new feature to Thinking Pink called Pinky Debunks People's Top News Stories.As we all know, the staff at People.com have some pretty ridiculous ideas about what makes a top news story. Let's take a look at today's Top Five, shall we?Well, anything other than having sex with tattooed porn stars who call themselves "Bombshell." Or motorcycles. Or sexting. Or idolizing Tiger Woods. Anything else, Sandra beats. But not those things. Guess what? No one cares. I would rather scrape out my eyeballs than look at that woman for one more second. Who? Oh, the hot girl in Wayne's World? Why don't you just say that? Who even knew (read: cared) that she was married in the first place? How is this news?

I keep seeing this name and I have no idea who Erin Andrews is. Should I know? Is she dating Bradley Cooper or someone famous? Why is someone trying to kill her? For being unknown?

Um, hasn't Nicollette Sheridan been off of Desperate Housewives for like ten years? How is this top news (or any news for that matter)? Way to be relevant and timely, Nicollette. No, seriously, nicely done. I'm sure you'll win BIG money. Perhaps they'll throw in a Rubick's cube if you're lucky (get it, because she's so behind the times?).

Am I Missing Something?

Yesterday I went online to price an iPad (since apparently it was just released and everyone is talking about it) and found out that it runs for $499. What am I missing about this thing? It looks like a giant version of the iPhone. If you've already got an iPhone, why would you need an iPad? I can think of a ton of things I'd rather do with $499 (color my hair, get another tattoo, fly to Italy, paint my car pink, buy the Glee DVD, hire a cleaning crew to clean the Pink Palace, or even just buy a plethora of Hello Kitty items/snow globes/flamingos for my collections to name a few). Can someone please explain what the big deal is? iThank iYou (come on, that was iHilarious).

Celebrity Wrap Up - Wednesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Wednesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Did you hear that? It was the sound of my heart skipping a beat. *sigh*
Nic, sweetie, we've talked about this. What the hell are you doing to yourself? Are you really trying to make me break up with you? I simply cannot tolerate your wigs, let alone a blonde one. Blech. Knock it off already. No one thinks you're funny.Didn't Sinead O'Connor used to be pretty? Now she just looks homeless.One of these things is not like the other.....well, Tori, sweetie, you tried, right? You did a much better job at matching your shirt with your husband's (gag).
I'm dying. Look at baby Tabitha's little hock legs. SO cute! The sad thing is she probably weighs more than SJP.

Top Five LOL Cats of the Day

Just Because It Makes Me Laugh

Like I can really talk when Galoon (my stuffed animal monkey) has his own page.....no offense, Heidi. :) This was just too funny not to post.

Pinky's Fandance - Rosemarie DeWitt

Rosemarie DeWitt is amazing - and not just because she was on Mad Men (which, in itself, is reason for me to get on my knees and praise her - yikes, that was a little over the top). She also plays the sister on The United States of Tara AND is married to Ron Livingston (aka Burger from Sex and the City).How is she not more popular? She walked around the Festival virtually undetected - well, at one point she was walking with Ben Affleck and I'm afraid even Drew Barrymore would've been trampled for Ben. But even by herself, she just went on her merry way. It's Rosemarie DeWitt, people! Respect! :)

The Song Remembers When

Last night my senses were attacked in the worst way possible - by the sneak attack, never-see-it-coming dreaded "song" from days gone by. Now, I realize in most cases I'm an open book and game to talk about anything and anyone, especially the myriad of men (ahem, boys) who've crossed the pink path once upon a time. But there are a few - two, to be exact - that I will never, ever talk about. I just don't. Not to sound like a drama queen (who, me?), but the pain was too excruciating for my little pink heart and to tell you the truth, the bits of my heart I gave away to these two I'll never get back. That being said, there is only one thing that brings them back to my mind (as I really won't even let myself think about them) - our "song." Each one had a cheesy, gooey love song with me that was "our song" and just when I think I've successfully put these particular heartbreaks out of my mind, one of the songs will come on the radio. On the radio! Heaven knows I won't keep those songs in my possession - but both are SO old there's no reason they should be playing on any sort of radio station. Stupid songs. Stupid radio. How is it that one song can transport a person so entirely to another place and time? I'd say it's almost magical, but that's just being even more dramatic. And who needs that, right? :)

Celebrity Wrap Up - Tuesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Tuesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Does Lindsay know that you don't get high on cocaine by sprinkling it on your feet?
Hey Tori, Elmer Fudd called - he'd like his shirt back.
How can someone with such impeccable fashion sense decide that this was a good look? Valentino, you should be ashamed of yourself and your skin-cancer-waiting-to-happen face.Is it wrong that I'm kind of in love with this outfit? If I could rock it, I totally would. I'd go around pretending to be C-3PO. I know, I'm cool like that.
Oh, my. Remember when Kenickie was super hot stuff on Grease? Now, apparently, he's 612. Yikes.

Happy Birthday, Angie!

Birthday greetings, as well as a WELCOME BACK going out to my dear friend, Ang, who is finally back to work after maternity leave. I can't take another maternity leave - that's two too many! Have a wonderful birthday!

Top Five FAILS of the Day

How I Spent My Easter Vacation

In case you'd like to do know how I maximized my time being shut-in all weekend, here's a pretty good representation of how all my time was spent. I must've slept at least two million hours. Only a slight exaggeration. Sigh.
